Get Well Soon
Filed under: Anglophilia > Film Flickers
Dame Maggie Smith, Professor McGongall in the Harry Potter films, is fighting a battle with breast cancer, it has been revealed today.
The brave Oscar winner is said to have insisted on going ahead with filming the latest installment of Potter last month, even though she was undergoing radiation therapy at the time.
Our thoughts are with Dame Maggie.
Hoping she is cancer free soon!

… my ass; Miss Jean Brodie to you, Perez. Perez-fans, check out Dame Smith in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." Stellar performance–and shows you just why most actresses today are WAY overrated! My love and heartfelt wishes go out to you, Dame Smith!
I love Maggie Smith!! Good thoughts and positive vibes sent her way!!!
My prayers and thoughts are with Maggie at this time for a speedy and complete recovery.
She was also great in Sister Act as well as the First Wives Club.
Oh I love her. I hope and pray for the best for her.
i really do love her. she is such an wonderful actress. please get better soon!!
Oh I hope she gets better. She is such a good actress. God Bless Dame Maggie!
#28 - I loved her in that movie.
She has been fantastic in everything she has done.
When I was reading the last Harry Potter books, I kept seeing her as Professor McGonagall - she is that good she becomes the character and ceased to be Maggie Smith. Love her, love her, love her.
for god's sake, use a better picture to show some respect.
Professor McGonagall! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…get well soon..you rock!!!
aww hope she gets well soon, she's a great actress
Hmmmm. I've always assumed she was a smoker. I'm sure if she was, you'd shame her, too, huh, Perez??
since im young i always hope she's gonna live almost forever. i dont want her to die! she's so nice..
Get well soon!!!!
Get well!
I'm pretty sure that she will recover from this, she's always been a strong woman. My thoughts are with her.
